I I. e''''''' c,. ~'r .~.> '0"' 'l>.J~ j Planninl! Commission Minutes Pal!e 2 2/01/95 I Mr. Fritsinger indicated the homes would meet all required setbacks from the property lines. He I noted one advantage of the setbacks proposed as compared to a standard R.1 development, is that a significant buffer is maintained from the homes located to the north. I Mr. Fritsinger indicated the applicant's engineer has reviewed the storage capacity of the wetland, pond and pipe and determined that sufficient capacity to handle the run off on the site is present, I Mr. Fritsinger noted the City engineer has also reviewed this information and found a number of items which will need to be addressed further. I Mr. Fritsinger indicated the applicant is proposing to complete the site grading at one time rather than as each unit is constructed. He noted although this will cause a significant tree loss, the PUD allows the site to be developed with considerably less tree removal should the site be developed I as a single family subdivision. Mr. Fritsinger stated the street detailed on the plan will be a private street. Mr. Fritsinger I indicated attorney Filla has indicated that in order to allow a private street to be developed a variance to Section 22-8, C, (15) of the Arden Hills Municipal Code is required. I. Mr. Fritsinger noted in reviewing the Pemtom and Hunters Park developments the common drive areas were dealt with in differing approaches. He indicated Pemtom does not have private streets, but has what is called public courts to access the homes. He continued, Hunters Park I platted all common drive areas as outlots. Mr. Fritsinger noted Staff would suggest the private drive in this case is no different than in those two developments and language can be placed in the I Master PUD Plan and development agreement which adequately addresses this. Mr. F ritsinger noted the parking on the site will consist of a two car garage and two off street I parking stalls for each townhome. Mr. Fritsinger indicated the curb cut on to County Road E2 will be approximately 161.35 feet away from the intersection with old Highway 10. I Mr. Fritsinger indicated the developer has not proposed to make any changes to the pedestrian trail currently located on the site. Mr. Fritsinger indicated preliminary discussions have been held with the Parks Department in regards to park dedication and the location of this trail. I Mr. Fritsinger stated within the Comprehensive Plan, the undeveloped Land Use chart on page 8 identifies this site as undeveloped. On page 95 the Land Use Plan identifies the site as open I space or parks and the zoning ordinance details the zoning as R-1, single family residential. I Mr. Fritsinger indicated while the plan indicates the area will be open space, no funding or methods have been identified to acquire the property for open space or park purposes. I. Mr. F ritsinger indicated the density of this proposal is slightly less than three units per acre, so it would be allowed in the R-1 district. I
